It’s a mistake.
When I check the statistics of visitors to the Idea Enhancement website; they invariably visit for “less than 5 seconds” – it’s a mistake.
Something must immediately contradict their expectations or ‘unfulfill” their need for scientific merchandise and merchandising.
In adopting Science’s recycled vision of a mechanistic Universe – modern authorities are eager to gain power and compliance by promoting the idea that they can gift us with happiness and self-worth through material means. Just as Ingmar Bergman’s magician was unable to gain an admission of his powers from the village Minister of Health; while the crone in his traveling show made a profitable business of selling love potions and charms in his kitchen – so are we unwilling to shoulder the burdens of a complex and subtle human reality; and cling to the storybook simplicity of our ‘magic bullet’ scientific “potions.”
When I want to organize something; I just put it in the first place I would look for it – it works. Why worry about the methodologies and proscriptions of experts to fix a problem that the mind so effortlessly solves? The same is true of Idea Enhancement.
“Idea Enhancement” is no more than a name to describe the effortless process of creation – an exhortation to “try it before you deny it.” The “Scientific method” is a self-fulfilling methodology that only sees building steps to get over a wall that you could walk around.
“Idea Enhancement” is practical: it works. So, take a walk around the wall and see what’s there — you can always go back and see what progress “science” has made.
Next: I will share some of the results from my totally unmethodical “qualitative thinking” for your imagination.
